- onboard device 106 onboard device
- the data center 100 may comprise one or more computer systems executing software instructions.
- the one or more computer systems of the data center may all be located at a single location; however, in other cases the computer systems of the data center may be remotely located from one another, yet functioning as a data center.
- one or more computer systems of the data center may be “cloud” computer systems provided under contract from a cloud computing service provider, thus the physical location of the computer systems may not be precisely known to the data center operator, or may change daily or even hourly depending on the amount of computing resources used.
- an onboard device 106 is affixed to an automobile 108 .
- Affixed with respect to an onboard device 108 and an automobile shall mean that the onboard device 108 is mechanically and electrically coupled to the automobile such that the onboard device 108 is not physically accessible by an occupant properly seated in the vehicle.
- the onboard device 106 may reside under or within the dashboard of the automobile. In other cases, the onboard device 106 may be at any suitable location within the automobile, such as in an electrical compartment under the hood, or within the luggage compartment.
- the onboard device 106 both mechanically and electrically couples to the automobile 108 by way of a connector 110 .
- connector 110 may provide mechanical support that holds the onboard device 106 in place, and by way of the connector 110 the onboard device 106 may electrically couple to other components of the automobile 108 , such as the onboard computer or starter solenoid.
- the connector 110 may be an onboard diagnostic (OBD) version two (hereafter just OBD-II) port. Coupling the onboard device 106 to the illustrative OBD-II port thus gives the onboard device 106 the ability to communicate with one or more computer systems of the automobile 108 .
- OBD-II onboard diagnostic
- the connector 110 is a specialty connector within the automobile, such as the starter solenoid relay connector, or fuel pump relay connector.

- the processor 112 may communicate with sub-systems of the automobile over the connector 110 .
- the onboard device 106 further comprises a wireless communication system 118 coupled to the processor 112 .
- programs of the processor 112 may wirelessly communicate with other devices (i.e., radio frequency communication by way of electromagnetic waves propagating through air), as discussed more below.
- the wireless communication system 118 may take many forms, but has a limited distance over which communication may take place—a short range communication network. In particular, the range of the wireless communication system 118 need not extend beyond the passenger compartment of the automobile, but because the passenger compartment of an automobile has windows and doors, the range may extend beyond the automobile for a relatively short distance (e.g., two meters).
- the protocol over which the wireless communication system 118 communicates may likewise take many forms.
- the wireless communication system 118 implements a Bluetooth communication protocol.
- a Bluetooth communication protocol Another example is a ZIGBEE® brand network protocol, where the ZIGBEE® trademark is owned by Zigbee Alliance.
- the wireless communication system 118 cannot communicate with the data center 100 without an intervening device in the form of the portable wireless device 102 .
- Portable wireless device 102 is a handheld device that has the ability to execute third party applications, communicate over a wireless data network 104 , communicate over the short range communication network (i.e., communicate with the wireless communication system 118 when in range), and is not affixed to the automobile. In some cases, the portable wireless device 102 also places and receives cellular telephone calls. Thus, in some embodiments, the portable wireless device 102 is a “smart phone” possessed by an owner or occupant of the automobile. In most cases, the portable wireless device 102 will be carried by an owner or occupant of the automobile 108 , and thus will be out of communication range with the onboard device 106 at times when the owner or occupant is not proximate to the automobile. However, when the owner or occupant approaches the automobile, or is within the automobile, the portable wireless device 102 may establish communication with the onboard device 106 .
- FIG. 2 shows an electrical block diagram of a portable wireless device 102 in accordance with at least some embodiments.
- the portable wireless device 102 comprises a processor 200 , memory 204 , graphics controller 206 , display device 208 , global positioning system (GPS) receiver 210 , cellular phone/data transceiver 212 , short range communication transceiver 214 , and battery 216 .
- the processor 200 is coupled to memory 204 , such as by a bus 202 .
- the memory 204 stores programs executed by the processor 200 , and in some cases may be the working the working memory for the processor 200 .
- the memory 204 may be random access memory (RAM) (e.g., dynamic random access memory (DRAM), flash memory).
- RAM random access memory
- DRAM dynamic random access memory
- the memory 204 may store programs used by the portable wireless device for operation, such as a mobile operating system (e.g., iOSTM brand mobile operating system from Apple, Inc., or the ANDROIDTM brand mobile operating system from Google, Inc.) and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) installed programs (e.g., applications to implement placing and receiving cellular phone calls, or messaging services).

- the display device 208 may be any display device upon which text and/or images may be formed, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD).
- the display device is controlled by graphics controller 206 , but in other cases the graphics controller functionality may be implemented within the processor 200 .
- the display device may be overlaid with a transparent touch sensitive device such that the portable wireless device implements “touch screen” functionality.
- the illustrative portable wireless device 102 further comprises a GPS receiver 210 .
- the GPS receiver 210 receives signals from an array of GPS satellites orbiting the earth, and based on timing associated with arrival of those signals, a position can be determined.
- the GPS receiver 210 has sufficient functionality to calculate position, and thus the data passed to processor 200 may be a direct indication of position.
- the functionality to determine position may be shared between the GPS receiver 210 and software executing on the processor 200 . That is, the GPS receiver 210 may receive the plurality of GPS signals and pass the information to a program on the processor 200 , which program may then make the determination as to location of the portable wireless device 102 .
- the portable wireless device further comprises a cellular phone/data transceiver 212 , over which voice and data transmission may take place.
- the transceiver 212 thus implements a wireless communication system and/or protocol (i.e., radio frequency communication by way of electromagnetic waves propagating through air). Any suitable communication protocol may be implemented by the transceiver 212 , such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) compliant protocol, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) compliant protocol, or a Personal Communications Service (PCS) compliant system.
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
- GPRS General Packet Radio Service
- PCS Personal Communications Service
- the transceiver 212 will employ both voice and data communications, in some embodiments only a data communication system is implemented (e.g., an IPADTM brand product available from Apple, Inc.). That is, in some cases the portable wireless device 102 does not provide voice services.
- a data communication system e.g., an IPADTM brand product available from Apple, Inc.
- illustrative portable wireless device 102 further comprises a short range communication transceiver 214 .
- programs executed by the processor 200 may communicate with other devices, such as the onboard device 106 .
- the short range communication transceiver 214 may take many forms, but has a limited distance over which communication may take place.
- the transceiver 214 is a wireless transceiver (i.e., radio frequency communication by way of electromagnetic waves propagating through air), and need not have a range larger than the passenger compartment of the automobile 108 to which the onboard device 106 is affixed.
- the portable wireless device 102 may establish communication when in close proximity to the automobile 108 (e.g., within two meters).
- the protocol over which the short range communication transceiver 214 communicates may take many forms, but will be compatible with the protocol of the wireless communication system 118 of the onboard device 106 .
- the short range communication transceiver 214 may implement any suitable system, such as a Bluetooth communication protocol, or a ZIGBEE® brand communication protocol.
- the portable wireless device 102 is considered a “key” to the car. That is, in one embodiment onboard device 106 is configured to disable the automobile 108 at any time the portable wireless device 102 is not communicatively coupled to the onboard device 106 by way of the wireless communication system 118 , and the onboard device 106 is configured to enable the automobile 108 at any time the portable wireless device 102 is communicatively coupled to the onboard device 106 by way of the wireless communication system 118 .
- Disabling and enabling of the automobile 108 based on proximity of the portable wireless device 102 may take many forms.
- the onboard device 106 is mechanically and electrically coupled to connector 110 in the form of the OBD-II port as discussed above.
- the onboard device 106 may communicate with one or more computer systems of the automobile 108 , and thus may disable the automobile by any suitable technique, such as disabling the ability to crank the engine, disabling the spark ignition system, disabling the fuel system, or a combination.
- An onboard device 106 configured to couple to the OBD-II port may also have the ability to read or determine data associated with the vehicle, such as determining the identity of the vehicle (e.g., by reading the VIN number).
- the onboard device 106 may be a relay replacement device.
- a starter relay is a device within an automobile that, when activated, provides electrical current to the solenoid of the starter.
- the onboard device 106 in the form a starter relay replacement device may thus act as an operational starter relay when the portable wireless device 102 is communicatively coupled, but in the event communication is lost with the portable wireless device 102 the onboard device 106 may not provide current to the solenoid in spite of a command to do so.
- connector 110 may be a relay connector.
- the onboard device 106 may be a relay replacement device for any system that could disable the vehicle (e.g., either prevents the motor from starting, or prevents the motor from continuing to operate).
- the portable wireless device 102 and onboard device 106 also enable further functionality regarding the data center 100 .
- the data center 100 e.g., at the behest of a lien holder on the automobile
- location services are based on the portable wireless device 102 . That is, in accordance with at least some embodiments determining the location of the automobile 108 may involve the data center 100 communicating with the portable wireless device 104 by way of the wireless data network 104 .
- reference to communication with the portable wireless device 104 by way of the wireless data network 104 shall not be read to require that the data center 100 wirelessly couple to the data network 104 .
- the communication by the data center 100 to the portable wireless device 102 may thus request an indication of location.
- the portable wireless device 102 may establish whether the device 102 is communicatively coupled to the onboard device 106 . If the portable wireless device 102 is not communicatively coupled to the onboard device 106 , the portable wireless device 102 may notify the data center 100 , and/or wait until communication is established with the onboard device 106 .
- the wireless device 102 then activates its GPS receiver 210 to receive signals from a plurality of GPS satellites (illustrated by satellite 130 ) and determine location. Once a location is established, the location information is sent to the data center 100 over the wireless data network 104 . Thus, location of the automobile may be determined in spite of the fact the onboard device 106 does not have the capability to determine location.
- the data center 100 may periodically need to disable the automobile 108 .
- the automobile 108 may be disabled.
- disablement services are based on the portable wireless device 102 . That is, in accordance with at least some embodiments disabling the automobile 108 may involve the data center 100 communicating with the portable wireless device 104 by way of the wireless data network 104 .
- the portable wireless device 102 may establish whether the device 102 is communicatively coupled to the onboard device 106 . If the portable wireless device 102 is not communicatively coupled to the onboard device 106 , the portable wireless device 102 may notify the data center 100 , and/or wait until communication is established with the onboard device 106 .
- the portable wireless device 102 then sends a command to the onboard device 106 .
- the onboard device in turn, disables the automobile.
- the automobile may be disabled in spite of the fact the onboard device 106 does not have the capability to communicate with the data center 100 over the wireless data network 104 .
- the data center 100 may periodically need to communicate with the owner or occupant of the automobile 108 .
- the data center 100 may send a message to the owner or occupant.
- sending a message by the data center 100 may involve the data center 100 communicating with the portable wireless device 102 by way of the wireless data network 104 .
- the portable wireless device 102 may display the message on the display device 208 .
- the message may take many forms. In some cases the message is text message (e.g., short messaging service (SMS) text communication).
- SMS short messaging service
- the message may take the form of series of TCP/IP packets exchanged between a program executing on the portable wireless device 102 and the computer systems of the data center 100 .
- FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of further embodiments that utilize a docking station.
- FIG. 3 shows a docking station 300 mechanically coupled to the automobile 108 .
- the docking station may take many forms depending on the nature of the portable wireless device 102 . For example, for a portable wireless device 102 in the form of an IPHONETM brand product (produced by Apple, Inc.
- the docking station 300 may comprise the proprietary IPHONETM connector along with one or more mechanism to physically hold the IPHONETM.
